(If you do - check if you are blocking icmp packets) Can you ping the BSD box from another machine on the same LAN? Check that your DHCP sent you the correct settings (netmask once fooled me). Try ping something else on the LAN besides the router. Switch out any hub, switch or cable you have inbetween the BSD box and the router (or try bypass it with a cross-cable). I guess lastly try switch the card out for another card. Hope you come right. Graham
